Sales: Greenwich, Cos Cob, Riverside

Greenwich: 26 Taconic Avenue, listed at $6.950 million, sold for $7.025. After I posted about this house going pending, the owner, former client and still friend, called to remind me that, because I’d said disparaging things about the place, the seller backed down from his $5.950 asking price and accepted our bid for $4.850. To be fair, I couldn’t have been that disparaging, because I’ve never found anything bad to say about an Alex Kaali-Nagy design or build, and it was that column that sparked my friend’s interest in seeing the house in the first place, but it is true that grabbing it for $4.850 was a minor coup.
